To you it is clear that he is guilty .

Yes, pez, I've shown my hand. I do believe he's guilty and it's unfair to anyone under our justice system to assume so until the facts come out. I'm willing to wait for Starr's report and it's subsequent analysis to form an opinion. My responses are more due to the rants and smears against those providing information and carrying out the investigation to try and stop it before it's finished not to mention the obfuscation and delaying tactics to try and wear down the IC.

I've been around long enough though to have seen these same standards, of assumed guilt, visited upon many Republicans who also believed they had the best interests of America at heart, but that didn't stop the partisan attacks against anything they proposed and it's happening in spades today.

What animates my unfairness antennae and gets me going most is the double standard. Now that scandal and corruption are visiting themselves upon the left side of the political spectrum there's hell to pay. It was O.K. to trash the right since they represent evil, greed, selfishness, and power brokering. Well...."What's good for the goose is good for the gander"...."He who lives by the sword will die by the sword"....and "The chickens have come home to roost" to quote just a few sayings to represent the situation.

Re: Reagan. We'll just have to agree to disagree. History will eventually rightfully put his administration into perspective as it will Clinton's. Already much of the bad press about Reagan is starting to melt away with good retrospective analysis as evidenced by a recent Frontline piece on Reagan. I think history will be much kinder to Reagan than when he was in office.
